Interesting. I ended up on a word processing course a few decades ago. Two spaces after full stops. I’ve done that ever since.

We certainly did, Paul. What infuriates me is that most sites/browsers strip out the extra spaces rendering text less readable with only one space at sentence ends. Code written by eedjits.

Annoying, isn't it? I feel like my text is constantly bastardised.

Yep. Full stop. Bash-bash on the space bar. My English teacher taught me to leave a proper gap there when writing with a pen and I carried it on to the keyboard. It's only right and proper.
